ENGINEERING MEASURES :
General ventilation is recommended. The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control emissions
near the source. Laboratory samples should be handled in a fumehood. Provide mechanical ventilation of
confined spaces.

PERSONAL PROTECTION

GENERAL ADVICE :
The use and choice of personal protection equipment is related to the hazard of the product, the workplace and the
way the product is handled. In general, we recommend as a minimum precaution that safety glasses with
side-shields and workclothes protecting arms, legs and body be used. In addition any person visiting an area
where this product is handled should at least wear safety glasses with side-shields. The applicable European
standard can be found in EN 166.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION :
Where concentrations in air may exceed the limits given in this section, the use of a half face filter mask or air
supplied breathing apparatus is recommended. A suitable filter material depends on the amount and type of
chemicals being handled. Consider the use of filter type: A-P The applicable European standard can be found in
EN 140, EN 137, EN 143 and EN 14387. In event of emergency or planned entry into unknown concentrations a
positive pressure, full-facepiece SCBA should be used. If respiratory protection is required, institute a complete
respiratory protection program including selection, fit testing, training, maintenance and inspection.

HAND PROTECTION :
When handling this product, the use of chemical gloves is recommended. The choice of work glove depends on
work conditions and what chemicals are handled, but we have positive experience under light handling conditions
using gloves made from PVC Gloves should be replaced immediately if signs of degradation are observed.
Breakthrough time not determined as preparation, consult PPE manufacturers. The applicable European standard
can be found in EN 374.

SKIN PROTECTION :
See general advice.

EYE PROTECTION :
When handling this product, the use of safety glasses with side shields is recommended. The applicable European
standard can be found in EN 166.

HYGIENE RECOMMENDATIONS :
Use good work and personal hygiene practices to avoid exposure. Consider the provision in the work area of a
safety shower and eyewash. Always wash thoroughly after handling chemicals. When handling this product never
eat, drink or smoke.
